EDITORS COMMENTS
This aquatint print, titled 'British Riflemen' by J.C. Stadler after Charles Hamilton Smith, offers a glimpse into the uniformed splendor of the British Army during the early 19th century. Dated 1812, this coloured print was published by Colnaghi and Co between 1812 and 1815, and is an exquisite example of the intricacy and detail that characterized the era's military art. The image showcases a group of British Riflemen, members of the elite infantry units renowned for their sharpshooting skills. The 60th Royal Rifle Corps, also known as the 'Royal Americans' (not to be confused with the American company), is represented here in their distinctive uniforms. The soldiers wear green jackets, white trousers, and red waist sashes, topped with bearskin hats adorned with black cock feathers. Each man carries a Baker rifle, a long-barreled, smoothbore musket, and a bayonet. The meticulous attention to detail in this print is evident in the intricate rendering of the soldiers' uniforms, the textured foliage in the background, and the lifelike expressions on their faces. The use of aquatint, a technique that involves etching the plate with a fine-pointed needle and then applying a series of toned inks, adds depth and richness to the image. This print is a testament to the artistic and military history of the British Empire during the Napoleonic Wars, providing a fascinating glimpse into the appearance and equipment of the soldiers who defended the realm during this pivotal period in history.
